de, silently shook his head.I can only say that you boss deserved it.Before, people came to your door for free treatment, and you wouldn't let them treat you. Now that things are better, you charge hu..."This…" The waiter at the restaurant hesitated, looking at Shen Ningran and her companions.

All the guests who come here are either very wealthy or very influential. They have never encountered a case of someone leaving without paying.

They sized up Shen Ningran and Jiang Li's attire, then glanced at Guan Xin Yue and the others.

Guan Xinyue is a regular here, so the waiters know her identity.

But this was Shen Ningran's first time here, and with her understated attire, the waiter instinctively stood by Guan Xin Yue and her group.

"Two ladies, please pay first. We don't offer credit here."

The server's words seem to imply that they already assumed they wouldn't be able to pay.

Jiang Li was so angry she wanted to curse, but Shen Ningran pulled her back.

Chen Jiao Xue sneered, "Aren't the two of you rich Just pay up, Shen Ning Ran. I'm looking at you as my sister, or maybe you should ask me for help. It's not worth emptying your family fortune for a meal."

As soon as her voice trailed off, a man in a suit hurried down the corridor.

The waiter immediately stepped forward and respectfully called out, "Manager."

Seeing even the manager come out, Shen Jiaxue’s eyes twirled, and she looked at the manager and said, "I'm sorry, manager. We didn't mean to make a fuss here."

After finishing her words, Shen Jiao Xue took out a card from her bag and handed it to the manager. "My sister's meal, I'll treat her. After all, she is my sister, and I really don't want to see her end up in such a humiliating situation."

Shen Jiao Xue held herself high, looking down at Shen Ning Ran as if bestowing a favor.

The manager glanced at Shen Jiao Xue with strange eyes, then swept past her and rushed to Shen Ning Ran's face.

Shen Jiao Xue's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

The manager walked up to Shen Ningran, bowing respectfully. "Miss Shen, I'm so sorry. We didn't know you were coming to the store today. Please forgive us for any inconvenience."

Shen Ningran looked at the manager in confusion.

Shen Jiao Xue was stunned, watching her manager completely ignore her and treat Shen Ning Ran with utmost respect. She was furious and asked, "What do you mean"

The manager glanced at Shen Jiaoxue and the others, his attitude becoming much more firm. He said, "Several misses, Miss Shen is a friend of our shop owner, so she doesn't need to pay for her meal."

"Are you kidding me Her" Shen Jiaxue said with disdain.

The owner of Jinhage is a mystery, and no one knows who they are to this day. However, it's known that the mysterious owner is able to open such a high-end restaurant in the most luxurious location in the capital city, which definitely indicates immense wealth and influence within the industry.

How could Shen Ningran possibly hook up with such a big shot

Guan Xin Yue also scrutinized Shen Ning Ran again with a few glances, “Manager, are you sure that your boss's friend is this Miss Shen Ning Ran”

"Yes, it's Shen Ningran, Miss Shen," the manager told them very firmly.

Just as Shen Ningran was puzzled, a message popped up on her phone.

Shen Ningran immediately understood.

The manager said respectfully, "Miss Shen, I see that you haven't finished eating. We have arranged the most honorable private room for you here. Please follow me."

Shen Ningran nodded, "Okay."

"As for the two of you ladies, you have already been blacklisted by our store and will no longer be served here. " The manager looked at the two women and continued in a formal tone, "Please leave."

Although it was phrased as "please," everyone could tell that it was a clear dismissal.

Guan Xinyue and Shen Jiaoxue's faces were so ugly they couldn't get any uglier.

Shen Jiao Xue questioned unwillingly, "Manager, do you know what you're doing Do you know who she is She is the eldest daughter of the Guan family, one of the four major families in the imperial capital. If we offend her, believe me or not, she can shut us down in minutes"

The manager smiled coldly, “If you have that ability, go ahead.”

Seeing the manager's attitude, Shen Jiaoxue was eager to regain some face. She let out a cold snort and spoke in a loud voice, "Shen Ningran, after five years, you are truly despicable. Are you being kept by this restaurant's owner Otherwise, how could someone like you become friends with the restaurant owner"

The word "friend," she bit it with emphasis, laced with sarcasm.

Shen Ningran's face turned cold. "You are the one who is dirty, so everything you see is dirty, isn't it"

"Shen Ningran, say it again, who is dirty Who did you call dirty"

Shen Jiaoxue pointed with her hand and walked forward, Jiang Li pushed her away, "Did you not understand what I said"

Shen Jiao Xue, unable to bear it any longer, became furious and grabbed the teacup beside her, throwing it at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li didn't notice and was splashed in the face with warm water.

"Lily!"

Shen Ningran frowned, her eyes full of coldness, and quickly picked up a towel and handed it to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li casually wiped the water constantly dripping from her face, she let out a sneer, her eyes fixed on Shen Jiao Xue, "This was your first move."

After finishing his words, Jiang Li threw the towel in his hand onto the table, took three steps forward as if they were two, and grabbed Shen Jiao Xue's hair, "Bitch, I have really tolerated you for a long time, shameless thing."

"Jiang Li, you're looking for death!" Shen Jiao Xue raised her hand and slapped Jiang Li across the face.

Jiang Li, who was one meter and seven tall, completely towered over the petite Shen Jiao Xue. She sneered with disdain, "You really want to spar with me"

Shen Jiaoxue grasped wildly in the air with both hands, "Let me go, Jiang Li, let me go…"

"Your mouth is so dirty, let me wash it for you."

Seeing this, Guan Xin Yue immediately stepped forward to help Shen Jiao Xue, and Shen Ning Ran also stepped forward.

Jiang Li was very strong, he grabbed Shen Jiao Xue and slapped her face twice.

"Dare you yell at me again I'll tear you apart!"

Shen Jiao Xue was like a madwoman, screaming and tearing frantically, "Jiang Li, let me go! Let me go!"

In the midst of the chaos, Guan Xin Yue saw a familiar figure walk in from outside.

Her eyes darted around, reaching out to grab Shen Ningran, her expression becoming incredibly vulnerable. “Miss Shen, please stop hitting me. It’s all my fault. I should have died with that child back then. Please stop.”

Shen Ningran frowned, facing Guan Xinyue's sudden change of expression, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, just thinking about getting rid of Guan Xinyue's hand.

Suddenly, she screamed.

With a thud, Guan Xin Yue was sent flying.

It was as if she had been pushed by Shen Ningran.

Jian Li flung Shen Jiao Xue away and clapped his hands.

Two women fell to the ground at the same time. Shen Jiaxue looked at Guan Xinyue, who was both embarrassed and pitiful. However, Guan Xinyue had tears streaming down her face, looking at Shen Ningran with a pitiful expression, "Miss Shen, all the mistakes are mine. If you want to hit me, just hit me..."

"What are you doing" a sinister voice spoke.ughter, what happened What's going on How could this happen"Shen Rongde's face was also extremely ugly, anxiously shaking the already unconscious Shen Jiaoxue, "Jiaoxue Jiaoxue"Shen Ningran frowned, "...
